Today’s Ring of Kerry experience went much better than yesterday’s! I decided to skip trying to find a breakfast place and instead walked down the street from my AirBnB to a place called Jack’s Bakery & Deli and grabbed a sandwich and chips, resolved to find a spot for a little picnic lunch. Then I…

Mixed emotions about how today went. It started out pretty great! I went to a restaurant called Emilie’s in Glenbeigh to start my loop on the Ring of Kerry. I (of course) had a scone and tea. This was my first triangle shaped scone here, it was delicious, but I prefer the round ones- they’re…

Since the last couple days were so action packed I decided to have a lowkey day today! I went to a restaurant called Zest Café today, they had a good mix of items I decided to try a Bran Scone (well really I thought she said Brown Scone and I thought that meant it would…

Another busy day today! This morning I slept in a bit and then took my time packing up since I’m heading to Tralee later today. I Googled the best scones in Cork and opted to try a place called The Bookshelf in Cork. I parked and started the 10 minute walk there, but as I…

As I said yesterday, today was a very busy day! Today I had the pleasure of visiting Cobh (formerly spelled and currently pronounced Cove), it was re-named to Queenstown for Queen Victoria during her visit in 1849, the name was then changed to Cobh in 1920 during the Irish War of Independence. A coastal city…

As predicted yesterday, I returned to The Pantry for breakfast this morning, had a plain scone and an Earl Grey tea again and it was just as delicious as yesterday :). I had some time to kill before I could check into my AirBnB in Cork so I decided to walk around Kilkenny a little…

Had a wonderful time exploring Kilkenny today! I started the day off a little rough, couldn’t figure out how to work the hot water in the shower at my AirBnB so I basically had to fill cups with warm water from the sink, not the best way to start, but thankfully I got it working…

Today was a very bittersweet day! Gina and I went to the airport this morning- had a bit of a panic because we tried 3 different taxi services and none of them had cars available- after waiting about 30 minutes for someone to accept our fare on either Lynk Taxis or Uber, I ended up…

Busy day today! We started the day by having breakfast at a little restaurant called the Castle Tea Rooms, it was cute and quick. I had a slice of lemon cake and an Earl Grey tea (truth be told all I really wanted was a scone, but all they had was raisin and that didn’t…

Today started with a delicious breakfast at the Rolling Donut, a cozy little spot in downtown Dublin that was close to the first stop of our Hop-On/Hop-Off tour called the Rolling Donut. I had a lemon poppyseed donut and a breakfast tea, it was huge and very tasty! After breakfast we went to the Hop-On/Hop-Off…
